Book review: OH HELL NO, by Abbi Glines

Mississippi Smoke #3

Oz and Winslet

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My favorite part of this book is the title, it’s such an accurate depiction of Winslet’s feelings when she realizes she’s attracted to her abductor. Oz kidnaps her and imprisons her in a basement to scare her into giving the whereabouts of her brother who had stolen four million dollars from the family. So, of course, her feeling about acting on that attraction was “oh hell no”!

Growing up with her little brother Perry, protecting him from an alcoholic abusive mother who wielded all her hate on Perry, her first instinct is always to protect Perry.  She didn’t believe Oz about Perry’s criminal acts until he escaped and abandoned her to her abductors. And even so, her love for him was such that she remained loving him and wanting to protect him.

This story deviates a little bit from the others in the series because there’s a very subtle humorous tint to their conversations and their ruminations.  So, in spite for the gritty nature of the mafia aspect, there’s a lightness to the story.  Winslet was delightful, such a loving person, quirky, a little rambling when she’s flustered, beautiful but she doesn’t realizes it so she’s not entitled.  No wonder Oz fell so hard! She was incredibly attracted to his god-like gorgeousness, but intimidated by his darkness.  Again, refer to the Oh Hell No title!

I loved how the author wrought their coming together, it was very realistic, fraught with humor, darkness, and tenderness.  I loved Oz’s protectiveness and the usual jealous/possessive attitude of the males in this series, and I noticed some similarity with Thatcher’s stalking methods, and how Winzy gave Oz peace, just like Halo and Bane.  I loved seeing Bane, the devoted husband, changing diapers!

Another wonderful addition to the series, another wonderful book to re-read and enjoy!
